EuWe Eugen Wexler US Plastics Inc. is expanding its manufacturing operations in Anderson County and investing an additional $5 million into its facility.

The expansion will create 29 new jobs over the next five years.

The facility is located off I-85 at Alliance Industrial Park in Anderson.

Last year, the company announced an $11 million investment to create its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Anderson County.

The Anderson County operations focus solely on the production of automotive plastic interior parts.

“EuWe still is in the preparation and ramp-up phase of its new facility in the United States, supporting our main customer, BMW,"EuWe Eugen Wexler US Plastics Inc. CEO Markus Gosse said. "We were extremely excited having already been awarded additional business prior to our actual launch of our production. This enabled us to increase the size and setup of our operations and to create even more new jobs right here in Anderson County. Being a company that is still managed by the founding family and always plans for the long run, we are confident to make this endeavor a success as well.”

The facility will be located at 865 Victor Hill Road in Spartanburg. The company plans to constructing a new 24,000-square-foot facility, with the ability for future expansion of up to 100,000 square feet.

“We are very excited to expand our operations to South Carolina. There is a lot of business potential within South Carolina’s automotive cluster, as well as other opportunities in neighboring states," International Mold Corp. treasurer Michael Lilla said.

The facility is expected to be operational by the end of April 2017. Hiring for the new positions is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2017, and those interested in joining the IMC team can apply in person or visit the company’s career page online.
